"Client function for the Braumeister to connect the Braumeister from everywhere via MySpeidel, hop additions in X min, bugfixes. Includes also the serial veresion 1.1.25/ 1.1.26 and an optional update for the wifi-module 4.8.5 (if the wifi is on 4.8.4, then update this first - version visible on the wifi settings, update starts automatically after removing the updatecable and connecting to the electricity, afterwards install the firmware for the Braumeister)."

It looks like they have changed the BM from a server to a client model, allowing you connect to it from outside your home network.

From some correspondence I have seen with Speidel this should also mean a move to HTTPS, is anyone able to confirm this (it could enable some very cool stuff)?

New firmware for Braumeiter 1.1.27 and Gärmeister 1.1.5 available for download. Now you can use the Braumeister as a client and control the Braumeister from everywhere on MySpeidel. We recommend the update in the next 2 weeks because MySpeidels supports only the new firmware in the near future. Thanks!

Hi all. I've just attempted to update my BM and as the download was almost complete it failed. Now my BM is stuck with yellow lights and blank screen when i turn it on. I've tried several times to update but keep getting an incompatible message on the updater screen. Any thoughts, ideas or general comments would be appreciated. I did try to update wifi unit first but have't been able to do this as I can't find an update just for wifi unit.

Update. I went back to the laptop rather than the Mac and I got the latest update to load successfully. Now i'm still getting the yellow lights and blank screen after waiting a minute before power back on.

I tried updating the the WiFi on mine which it said do this first on the Speidel website, when the 1.1.26 firmware was release but the Wifi part never updated but the 1.1.26 firmware went in okay.Or try flashing an older version of the firmware into the controller if you have a copy of a slightly older one ( I may have an older version in my Braumeister folderd on my pc at home I could send you).Otherwise if that does not work it will be return the controller to Speidel to sort-as the controller is bricked.( I am always wary of doing firmware updates but want the latest firmware in my machine so always do them- 9 times out of 10 never a problem -but it is always in the back of my mind sod's law what if I get a power cut when the update if transferring etc !

Thanks for your comments folks they are appreciated but at this stage not helpful, I think I have indeed "bricked" my controller. I can get the updates into the unit no problems, everything uploads ok but when i turn the power back on to the BM I just get the yellow lights and blank screen. I think I will contact Speidel and see what they say. Thanks again to you all.

I had been talking, via email, to one of the Seidel people on Tuesday. I haven’t heard anything from them since then. They asked me simple stuff like following instruction and trying to reload a previous update. If I have no luck with them I will be talking to my retailer who is the Australian importer and asking him to try and sort something out with Speidel. If I have stuffed it it will cost me $550 au to replace.

An update on my BM50 controller. I will be sending the unit controller and wifi unit back to Speidel in Germany. They have been very helpful to deal with. I haven’t brewed for 12 months, so another 3-4 weeks won’t be a problem. I have bought a couple of FWK from the brew shop and they have turned out to be a quality product.
